iPhone speech recognition SDK offered to developers

Creaceed has released the CeedVocal SDK, which allows developers to build speech recognition into their iPhone applications. The CeedVocal SDK is based on acoustic models developed in English, French and German, providing voice activity detection for each of those languages. The software development kit includes a "phonetizer" that recognizes many common words and up to 5000 developer-defined words.

The CeedVocal SDK is coded in Objective-C and is provided as a Universal Binary library to help setup developing applications in the iPhone app simulator. The SDK is provided in the form of a static library with header files. The CeedVocal SDK is immediately available from the Creaceed online store. The price of the SDK varies depending on the number applications and the number of languages desired by a developer.
